Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a storage device, in particular to a storage device for corn seeds. Background Art
[0002] In the field of agricultural production, the storage conditions of seeds are crucial. The quality of seeds is directly related to the growth status, yield and quality of crops. Among them, temperature and humidity are two key factors affecting the preservation effect of seeds. During the storage process of seeds, if the temperature is too high, it will accelerate the internal metabolic activities, cause the rapid consumption of seed nutrients, and then affect its germination rate and vitality. At the same time, high temperature is also likely to cause mildew and insect pests of seeds, further damaging the quality of seeds. On the other hand, too high humidity is also unfavorable for seeds. It will cause seeds to absorb moisture and expand, damage the cell structure of seeds, increase the respiration of seeds, accelerate their aging process, and even cause mildew and rot. Therefore, how to scientifically and reasonably control the storage temperature and humidity of seeds is an important factor in ensuring the quality of stored seeds. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to overcome the defect that the quality of seeds is reduced due to the influence of temperature and humidity during seed storage, the utility model provides a storage device for corn seeds, which includes a storage box, and also includes a bracket connected to the bottom of the storage box for supporting the storage box, and a feed inlet penetrating through the top of the storage box. A motor for providing power is arranged on one side of the feed inlet; a ventilation port is arranged on the outer side of the storage box, a heating pipe is also arranged on the inner wall of the storage box, and activated carbon for purifying air is arranged between the ventilation port and the heating pipe.
[0004] Preferably, the heating pipe is circular and arranged around the inner wall of the storage box. The heating pipe and the ventilation port are on the same horizontal plane. A through hole is arranged on one side of the ventilation port close to the heating pipe, and the activated carbon enters the position between the ventilation port and the heating pipe through the through hole.
[0005] Preferably, the ventilation port is located on the upper outer wall of the storage box. A baffle and a slide rail are arranged on the periphery of the through hole, and the through hole is opened or closed as the baffle moves on the slide rail.
[0006] Preferably, the motor is arranged at the center position of the top of the storage box, the output shaft of the motor is vertically arranged at the center position inside the storage box, and a plurality of stirring plates are connected to the output shaft and rotate with the drive of the motor.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a discharge port penetrating through the center of the bottom of the storage box, and the discharge port is located directly below the output shaft.
[0008] Preferably, it further includes a thermometer disposed outside the storage box for measuring temperature.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, in the present utility model, the ventilation opening provided on the upper side of the storage box is combined with the heating pipe on the inner wall to form an effective temperature and humidity adjustment system. The addition of activated carbon further reduces the humidity of the air entering the storage box, helping to maintain the dry environment required for seeds. At the same time, the thermometer monitors and feeds back the internal temperature of the storage box in real time, ensuring that the heating pipe is activated for heating when necessary to meet the optimal temperature conditions for seed storage. It reduces the problem of seed quality decline caused by environmental fluctuations and extends the storage period of seeds. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0018] A corn seed storage device includes a storage box 1, and also includes a bracket 2 connected to the bottom of the storage box 1 for supporting the storage box 1, and a feed inlet 4 penetrating through the top of the storage box 1. A motor 5 for providing power is arranged on one side of the feed inlet 4; a ventilation port 6 is arranged on the outer side of the storage box 1, and a heating pipe 61 is also arranged on the inner wall of the storage box 1. An activated carbon 64 for purifying air is arranged between the ventilation port 6 and the heating pipe 61.
[0019] Preferably, the heating pipe 61 is circular and arranged around the inner wall of the storage box 1. The heating pipe 61 and the ventilation port 6 are on the same horizontal plane. A through hole is arranged on the side of the ventilation port 6 close to the heating pipe 61. The activated carbon 64 enters the position between the ventilation port 6 and the heating pipe 61 through the through hole.
[0020] Preferably, the ventilation port 6 is located on the upper outer wall of the storage box 1. A baffle 62 and a slide rail 63 are arranged on the periphery of the through hole. The through hole is opened or closed as the baffle 62 moves on the slide rail 63.
[0021] Preferably, the motor 5 is arranged at the center position on the top of the storage box 1. The output shaft of the motor 5 is vertically arranged at the center position inside the storage box 1. A plurality of stirring plates are connected to the output shaft, and the stirring plates rotate with the drive of the motor 5.
[0022] Preferably, it further includes a discharge port 41 penetrating through the center of the bottom of the storage box 1, and the discharge port 41 is located directly below the output shaft.
[0023] Preferably, it further includes a thermometer 3 arranged on the outer side of the storage box 1 for measuring temperature.
[0024] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the corn seed storage device proposed in this application includes a storage box 1, a bracket 2, a thermometer 3, a feed inlet 4, a discharge outlet 41, a motor 5, a stirring plate 51, a ventilation opening 6, a heating pipe 61, a baffle 62, a slide rail 63, and activated carbon 64. The storage box 1 is a hollow cylinder, and its interior is used to store corn seeds. To ensure the stability and safety of the storage box 1, multiple brackets 2 are welded to its bottom. These brackets 2 greatly improve the overall stability by dispersing the pressure to the ground, enabling the storage box 1 to remain stable and reduce shaking. Moreover, to optimize the stability performance and prevent potential sliding risks, a circular base is provided at the bottom of each bracket 2. These circular bases increase the contact area between the bracket 2 and the ground, enhance the friction force, and thus effectively prevent the storage box 1 from sliding under tilting or external forces, improving the safety performance.
[0025] Among them, a motor 5 and a feed inlet 4 are provided at the top of the storage box 1. Corn seeds enter the interior of the storage box 1 through the feed inlet 4, and the motor 5 is located at the center of the top of the storage box 1. This allows the output shaft of the motor 5 to be vertically placed at the center inside the storage box 1, and multiple stirring plates 51 are provided on the output shaft. These stirring plates 51 are arranged vertically and evenly spaced from each other. When the motor 5 is started, the output shaft drives the stirring plates 51 to move, driving the stirring plates 51 to rotate around the axis. The corn seeds are thoroughly and evenly stirred by the rotation of the stirring plates 51. This stirring method can not only effectively prevent the corn seeds from caking or depositing during storage, but also promote the air circulation between the seeds, reduce the humidity accumulation, and thus maintain the freshness and quality of the corn seeds. At the bottom of the storage box 1, directly below the output shaft, a discharge outlet 41 is provided. This position is selected to ensure that the corn seeds fully stirred by the stirring plates 51 can flow out smoothly from here. When it is necessary to take out the corn seeds, just open the discharge outlet 41, and the evenly stirred seeds will naturally fall and be conveniently collected or transferred to the next processing step through the discharge outlet 41.
[0026] It should be noted that, as shown in the figure, a ventilation opening 6 is also provided on the upper outer wall of the storage box 1 to promote the air circulation inside and outside the storage box 1. And at the same horizontal plane of the ventilation opening 6, a circle of heating pipes 61 is arranged along the inner wall of the storage box 1. A piece of activated carbon 64 is also arranged between the heating pipe 61 and the ventilation opening 6. Its adsorption capacity can reduce the humidity of the air entering the inside of the storage box 1, creating a more suitable storage environment for the corn seeds. A thermometer 3 is also provided outside the storage box 1, and the temperature of the corn seeds inside the storage box 1 can be detected through the thermometer 3. Since the storage of corn seeds has requirements for both temperature and humidity, when the temperature detected by the thermometer 3 is lower than the suitable storage temperature of the corn seeds, the heating pipe 61 is started to heat the air entering from the ventilation opening 6, ensuring that the temperature inside the box is always maintained at the suitable storage temperature of the corn seeds, thus guaranteeing the quality and activity of the corn seeds.
[0027] Here, a through hole is opened on one side of the ventilation opening 6 close to the heating pipe 61. The main function of this through hole is to serve as a passage for the activated carbon 64 to enter and be fixed in the area between the ventilation opening 6 and the heating pipe 61. To ensure that the activated carbon 64 can be stably placed here and facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement, a baffle 62 and a matching slide rail 63 are installed at the edge of the through hole. The setting of the slide rail 63 enables the baffle 62 to slide smoothly along the slide rail 63, thereby controlling the opening and closing state of the through hole. When it is necessary to add or replace the activated carbon 64 between the ventilation opening 6 and the heating pipe 61, the operator only needs to gently push the baffle 62 to make it slide on the slide rail 63 to the open position. At this time, the through hole is exposed, allowing the activated carbon 64 to pass through. After the addition or replacement is completed, the baffle 62 is pushed back to its original position, and the through hole is immediately closed. The baffle 62 not only prevents the activated carbon 64 from accidentally falling out due to vibration or other factors during the operation of the equipment, but also plays a role in guiding the activated carbon 64 to enter the specified position correctly.
[0028] The above-described embodiments only represent the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations, improvements and substitutions can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
